Ok, you right, but:

1) As we see on mailing lists this little bug/or feature is seems be surprise for
<1.5 svn users. And in release notes or known
issues are nothing to about it.

2) I insist to svn developers, please give users (not matter dummies or power users) clear information (for example in FAQ Subversion) what I should expect after using the same commands with new toys like >=1.5 and svn merge.
